"Did you tell him that?" "Yes, but he keeps saying they're doing this to protect me, to ensure that I don't hurt myself." "I don't know why they can't protect you downstairs just as well," Lawrence said. "I don't see why that meant you had to be brought up here," Lawrence commented. Has something terrible happened to you, Laura? Have you remembered something horrible? Is that why they brought you up here?" I told him what had happened with Doctor Scanlon and what he wanted done with me and why. The chart on your door says that they don't want you to be disturbed. I didn't know what room you were in, of course* I checked two others before finding you. "There's another stairway that's used to bring up supplies mainly. Mary Beth and Lulu send their love." "How did you get up here?" I sat up until the strap cut into my waist. We heard what happened to you and I tried to get information all day, but no one knew or would say a thing. "Lawrence? What are you doing here?" "Don't talk too loud," he said. "Shh," I heard, and turned to see Lawrence kneeling by the bed.
